RUMOR: Nintendo is attemping to buy back Rare from Microsoft

Found this last night. I hope to god that this rumor is true. If it is, it wouldve took Nintendo 10 years to realize that Microsoft is messing up bigtime with Rare. So if Nintendo gets Rare back, it would be a freaking dream come true.

Microsoft generally stifles creativity, the riskiest first-party game they've thrown money into that I can think of is Alan Wake, and even then that's a pretty conservative game. The rest of the MS purse strings are invested in halo, Kinect and figuring out how to fit more adverts onto the Xbox dashboard.

They're also intent on making Windows 8 the worst thing ever for PC users, but that's another discussion.
